When Sophie lands a new job in parliament, it’s a chance to leave her past behind. Working as an assistant to a charismatic MP, she climbs the ranks as he rises meteorically from backbencher to leader of the opposition. But when scandal sweeps Westminster, Sophie is forced to choose between ambition and integrity. MESSIAH is a new play about power, corruption and what happens when the personal becomes political.

MESSIAH is looking for a Sound Designer!

Alongside the Lighting Designer, the Sound Designer builds the show’s ambiance through designing the show’s soundscape alongside and beyond the dialogue itself. As the show will take place in the ADC’s main theatre, the Sound Designer will have the exciting opportunity to run sound in a large theatrical space for over 200 audience members.

No prior experience is required. We are excited to work with theatremakers from a variety of artistic backgrounds!
